Personality
Charismatic
Gau is a man that if gifted with knowing how to say just the right things to get what he wants. This is especially applies to when he speaks to the opposite gender, as he likes to think himself to be a smooth talker. Being that sweeping woman off their feet is one of his favorite past times he may sometimes even lose focus of his true goals, though these occurrences are far and few between. He is often times the life of any party or celebration he goes to and can get along with just about anyone he meets. When it comes to business, he is naturally talented at working his plans into the heads of people, by any means to make sure he gets what he wants. One might believe that Gau just enjoys enjoys hearing himself talk though this might not be far from truth he never spouts random nonsense unless he is simply teasing someone. He is a man who wants alot and in his mind it takes a certain "gift of gab" to get anywhere in life.
Inquisitive
Gau has a thirst for knowledge that is matched only by his lust for money, fame, and power. He is a firm believer in the whole "a mind is a terrible thing to waste" concept. So he will usually study thoroughly about certain things that may hold value in the future. This could be ranging from island geography or urban legends that may surround certain places, or simply history of the world in general. Because he is always looking to elevate himself he feels such knowledge is necessary, often heeding the ideology that those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it; whether that be a good or bad thing . This may also come into play, which go hand and hand with his charismatic ways, when he needs to pump people for information. Because of his natural way with words he can easily get information from people, even if it means putting together key parts of what a person is saying just to get an understanding. This in mind he will rarely jump into any altercation if he can, he would rather pick the brains of people to determine if he should even bother fighting them.
Narcissist and Natural Swag
Gau's number one fan is Gau. The man loves himself almost as much as he desires to we elevate himself. He believes himself to be a visionary, his ideals being the only means to a truly better world. He already feels he is the epitome of the greatness and isn't shy in the least to admit it. To him the world is his stage and he plays the role of the leading man. Which may lead many to believe he might be a fame junkie, and though this may not be far from true his desire for more power and knowledge outweigh his desire for fame. Simply put the man's ego is off the charts and it is quite obvious by the way he carries himself that he is extremely confident in all he does. He does somewhat care what others think, however more in the way he feels all should see him as he wants to be seen. As a result he will often make decisions that would never conflict with his "reputation" as he would state, making him an unpredictable man as no one can truly guess what he has going on in his head.
Callous and Ambitious
Below Gau's outgoing facade lies his true nature. He is a man who cares little for others in truth, with possibly his family as a exception. Because he is such a driven individual he will always do whatever he can to see that he gets what he needs. He feels that the best way to kill someone is to take everything from them, though he is cold he rarely resorts to killing; most times letting an individual live with the knowledge of how they were bested. That said, he isn't above brutal beatings usually occuring if one insults his pride or his perceived honor. Because of the fact he demands respect he is prone to be aggressive if he feels disrespected, almost involuntarily telling off anyone who crosses the line or worse. The fact he rarely shows his true intentions, behind a false smile or emotionless expression, its always hard to tell if he is angered though people who are around him might notice when he is angered. His signs usually revolve around scratching his head, clenching his teeth so that his temples appear to bulge, or if he suddenly falls silent.
History:
Gau, of the Ban Family, was born during the hottest night ever recorded in Sol City. His birth being considered an rather auspicious one as it occurred during what many of their family would call a "burning moon". This was viewed as I'll omen, on top of the babe noticably possessing latent skills in what the Ban refer to as "manchi", an ancient word used in the times of the gods first abandonment of the world. It roughly translated to "life force", manchi is channelled as a means to perform supernatural feats of physical skill, protection against outside entities, or even be used to lash out at obstacles. Gau's display came in the form of his wailing spewing forth like a blast and shattering many surgical containers and fragile equipment. Even his mother, who was still very much weak from just giving birth, would receive fatal damage as a result and would lose her life. This raised many issues when talks came about revolving around who would see to the care of the babe. There was little use in considering the father as he had disappeared without a trace before it was even known that he was to be a father. As the boy was a Ban on his mother's side and already showed that training in the use of manchi, so the newborn was first sent to the Elders of the Ban, a group of 5 men and women, who serve as a council to the head of to the family. Once updated on the state of things, the Elders decided it best Gau be given his great uncle. It would be he would oversee Gau's development and instruction on what it means to be a Ban.
The following years flew by as the wailing babe to a smart mouth kid to a know-it-all teenager. Despite his Great Uncle, whom he nicknamed Gunc, militaristic like way of raising child Gau proved himself to be attentive to his lesson though his sharp tongue often impeded any praise he might receive. When the time came for his "Coming of Age" ceremony, at 18, he was denied his adulthood for three years, believing that allowing Gau out into the world could damage the reputation of the Ban Family. After the third year, however, Gau protested this decision and retorted with a challenge to the Elders. He would go out into the world and bring back something so monumental to the family that his adulthood could never be denied. Hesitant at first, the Elders agreed under the condition that Gau never refer to himself as a member of the family until he has returned and proven himself an adult and more importantly a Ban.
Given only the simplest of provisions, Gau left his home and set out to prove his adulthood. This one step would be the first of many to come, his adulthood needed to be recognized in order for him to reach the heights of power he dreamed of.
